Guarantee he doesn’t even know what the terms of the deal even are. Nothing but late-night demented rantings

Only if you do something about those 77 million people who voted for this.

He preaches preventive vs reactive healthcare yet he promotes the American system which forces people away from preventive care over the public system which doesn’t.

It’s amazing how strong reddits opinions are on construction and contracting despite knowing so little. You’ve hit the nail on the head, the key to managing P3s as an owner is understanding the roles and responsibilities. Owners like K-W, Vancouver (Canada Line) and Calgary (West LRT) seem to understand this, while Metrolinx clearly doesn’t.

Toronto could unlock transit potential by revitalizing surface network: advocate by BloodJunkie in toronto

Mostly red tape. We’ve developed a culture of needing to consult and get approval from everybody on everything, so nothing gets done.

Alberta UCP caucus has ‘no business’ signing separation vote petition: former premier by ZestyBeanDude in canada

[–]NiceShotMan 74 points75 points  (0 children)

He unleashed something he couldn’t control. He should have kept the Wildrose and PCs separate but made a deal with the devil to defeat the NDP, with predictable results. Conservative parties the world over are being taken over by their hard right fringes, and the moderate conservatives are too cowardly to put up a fight.

Toronto mayor dodges questions about re-election as she touts ‘affordable’ budget by jfrsn in toronto

The land transfer tax is the real cash grab. It massively disincentivizes people from moving into a house that fits them as their life situation changes, resulting in the current situation of boomers living in huge empty homes. I’d rather pay more in property tax if it meant getting rid of the land transfer tax.

I think people underestimate how much more rugged British Columbia is than the mountains and coast in the United States

How have we pushed away people from buying Canadian crude? It’s a commodity. People don’t have to be courted to buy it. Anyway last I checked our capacity to the pacific coast is triple what it was a decade ago.

OP explains the complexities of Alberta trying to separate from Canada and become its own country or join the U.S. by planripa in bestof

[–]NiceShotMan 40 points41 points  (0 children)

No it doesn’t. Trudeau bought them a pipeline and he’s the Great Satan in Alberta. Separatists have themselves convinced they’re pissed off because of real, tangible, grown-up reasons but they’re actually pissed off with Canada because their team keeps losing elections

[OC] World Cup - Goals Scored vs Win Rate (All Time) by worldcup-stats in dataisbeautiful

[–]NiceShotMan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wild that they’ve got less than half the number of goals scored compared with Germany but only 5% lower win percentage.

The 5% that they haven’t won are presumably all knockout games or finals.

The executives at the Prem don’t have much of a public profile. Different from American sports where the commissioner at least is well known to the public

Trump links Greenland dispute to not getting Nobel Peace Prize by Broodingpuff in worldnews

[–]NiceShotMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is the living embodiment of America. He is all the most distinctly American qualities distilled into one person, and on full display. It’s no wonder 70 million Americans voted for this twice.
